Download or read book How Faith Works written by Matt Davis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-07-06 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Click this link to read a review of How Faith Works. This book is autobiographical in concept, as the author has had many experiences in life, in addition to his bouts with cancer and his subsequent survival. As the author brings his story to you in this book, his attempt is to present things in a sequence that explain them in the order of importance in his life. The author’s life was riddled with ups and downs from inception, because of the absence of his father and mother, but the best thing that happens to him is that he was raised by his loving and caring grandmother, Mandy. Although many of the situations and experiences he faced existed in his life in Alabama in 1930s, they still exist in African American families and their communities today. As a result, Matt has a keen sense of the value of education, which he learned from his grandmother Mandy and other life experiences during the time he lived in Alabama. Matt’s years as a child growing up in rural Alabama during 1930s-50s, at best was turbulent times for young African American boys, yet he rode horses with his “white friend”, “J”, a White kid that lived nearby at the time. Because of Matt’s faith, taught to him by his grandmother Mandy, he was not afraid to take chances and try new things. At age 19 Matt went to work in Pensacola, Florida. Later that same year, he bought a 1939, pretty green Chevy. Matt was never deterred by life decisions, and still believes it is his faith that has brought him through many ordeals in his life. He has stepped out on “faith”, and prevailed in turning what would have toppled the average big city kid; but not Matt, he turns negatives into positives, and perseveres as he gets up again, and again.
Download or read book When God Cancer Meet written by Lynn Eib and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book of powerful stories about cancer patients and their families who have been touched by God in miraculous ways—some in their bodies, others in their minds, all in their spirits—offers inspiring testimony that, when God and cancer meet, cancer is conquered. The author, herself a cancer survivor, gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of 18 personal encounters with God. Here's what others are saying about When God & Cancer Meet: “Lynn has captured the essence of hope in this book; captured hope in ways that I have always taught in my professional world as well as in my spiritual community. This book is a treasure to those who struggle with the fears of cancer and I want to keep it close at hand for those reasons.” —Judy Lentz, RN, MSN, OCN, NHA Executive Director, Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association “I co-lead a cancer support group at my church, and we have been looking for “just the right book” to study and discuss. Guess what?! Lyn wrote it! I was truly touched by all the stories; of course being a cancer-survivor myself, I saw myself in one of the stories, as if Lyn were writing my own personal story. I was truly impressed with the way she incorporated scripture, and God's viewpoint into every story. I think that is of utmost importance for anyone facing this disease. Lyn's book is “Real-Life”; some quickly are healed of the cancer, some deal with it over a prolonged period, some deal with recurrences, some, mercifully, die rather quickly. I share Lyn's belief that GOD sometimes chooses to heal in different ways: physically, emotionally and spiritually. In the process of surviving a primary brain tumor, surgery, Chemo, and radiation, I gave my life to Christ, realizing that my physical health was not GOD's main concern, my Spiritual health was the biggest victim of a disease that needed attention and this was the way He FINALLY got my attention. Lyn's book alludes to this fact in every one of her stories. In this day and age that we are living, where it is against the rules to even mention GOD ( unless we mention His name in vain) it is refreshing to have a book written, praising Him for His care and concern for us; written by a woman who has experienced the disease firsthand, and continues to minister to others with cancer, and to work for a Doctor! who isn't ashamed of his Faith ! WOW!! Obviously, Lyn's book has my highest reccomendation, and my support group will be purchasing multple copies, and we plan to invite Lyn to speak with us. Lyn is a wonderful person, and I thank God for allowing our paths to cross. I'm sure this book will touch many lives,and give many a new perspective and hope with their cancer.” —Chris Winand, cancer survivor
Download or read book I Beat Cancer With FAITH written by Brent Emmett Mandolph II and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were 17 million new cases of cancer worldwide in 2018. And, it's predicted that worldwide, there will be 27.5 million new cases of cancer each year by 2040. Many would rightfully say those kinds of numbers represent epidemic levels. With all of those incidences of cancer happening, when most people think about fighting back against cancer, they think about beefing up for the physical aspects of the fight. Or, they think about beefing up in the area of their diet and fitness regimen. They even think about bolstering their immune system. There's nothing wrong with endeavoring to make those improvements. Most doctors will even advise their patients to endeavor to improve their health in these ways. But there's another vital area that is seldom thought about by the average patient or doctor, an area that few realize will offer something tangible to the fight against cancer - the area of our FAITH! On July 20th, 2012, I was diagnosed with late stage multiple myeloma, bone marrow cancer. By the time it struck me down, the disease had progressed to the point that it had partially paralyzed me; a turn of events that left me completely bedridden. Arriving at the hospital in this condition, 8 out of 9 doctors predicted that medicine would be of no help to me. The prognoses they gave me, I wouldn't live more than 6 months and I would never walk again. What those doctors didn't know was that I had a firm grasp on how to wield the power of FAITH and complete mastery of the God-given, 8-principle formula that would help me unleash that power to save my life. Through the use of that formula and by the grace of God, I beat that cancer. Now sitting here as a more than 7 year cancer survivor, I know that you can fight and beat cancer. I have also had the occasion to personally meet and interview 30 other cancer survivors who are telling the same tale. To a person, each of these men/women described FAITH power as one of the main elements of their victory over cancer and I agree. I agree because I not only beat cancer, to be exact, I beat a Bone Marrow cancer with just one round of chemotherapy, one round of radiation and NO BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT. That's how I KNOW I BEAT cancer with FAITH and YOU can too!!! In the book "I BEAT CANCER WITH FAITH & YOU CAN TOO" I will use F.A.I.T.H. as an acronym to share some of the working principles of FAITH that God revealed to me through the wisdom of FAITH (APPLIED) nearly 25 years ago. Applying these principles to a battle with cancer will allow you to activate the kind of FAITH that's allowed me and others to beat cancer - just as it will allow you to.

A Must Read for all Cancer Patients and Cancer SurvivorsWhile Cancer Survival Rates are up, There is Still a Need for Cancer Support, and this True Story Will Help You Through it If you Liked the Shack or 90 Minutes in Heaven, You will Love A Call to Faith The events that unfold before you in the life of Skip Sibley(author) are true to the best of the author's recollections. Skip Sibley, as well as the rest of the characters in this book, have been made up in name only. The triumphs and tragedies and everyday occurrences that take place in their lives are very real.In the genre of Christian books, this faith-based work attempts to show resilience in the face of adversity that comes into each of our lives. It can touch the hearts of those who have lost loved ones to cancer, suicide or accidental death, and can bear witness to how divorce and other issues can impact an individual's life and mental health. Inspirational Story The story is set in Charleston and finds its characters meandering throughout the Lowcountry. Young and handsome, beautiful wife and children, and a small fortune before the age of thirty. He had it all - or did he? Skip Sibley never knew his marine aviator father who died in a plane crash when he was young. Struck with the tragedy of a younger sister who committed suicide in college and who continued to pay apparitional visits to Skip in times of need.Encounters with God at just the appropriate time when giving up on life was more than a thought. But his toughest battles may still lie ahead of him; finding his faith in God through cancer and divorce. Cancer Survivor As mentioned in the Prologue, I did my best to reconstruct the pieces of a very true story, my story! In a somewhat humbling way, using the third-person perspective gave me the ability to tell the truth even more so than I could have in the first-person. If we live long enough, events will transpire that we would rather not witness. All of us will go through the good and the bad that life has to offer. But they say that it is how you react to trying times that matters, not the times themselves. Perspectives change and can go in either a positive or negative direction. While there is still no cure for cancer, please remember that out of darkness comes hope, so keep the faith and don't ever give up the fight.
